Human Sphere & Community Resilience Workshop

Tutor: Nándor Tánczos

Our world is changing, although it is not always clear what exactly that will mean. Many of the assumptions we now take for granted will no longer apply in the future. Both long term trends, such as climate change and resource depletion, as well as short term natural and social disasters may impact us in unexpected ways. Building a capacity for resilience, both as individuals and in our communities, is the best way to prepare for an uncertain future.

Permaculture is based on an ecological approach that builds resilience through a number of the design principles. This module looks at what it means to apply a permaculture lense to the social realm, and how to design a more sustainable, resilient and regenerative human ecology.

Hi everyone the last Saturday of the month has sneaked up because it's not quite the end of September!

This weekend is the last Saturday, so rain or shine, get your gumboots on for our planting & weeding bee this Saturday 24 September 1-3 pm!

Meet at the Malcolm street end of the boardwalk in Hammond Park, Riverlea. We will be weeding in boggy areas. Children are welcome (but not great for toddlers).

Wear strong shoes or gumboots, long sleeves and gloves.

Bring a garden knife, secateurs or hedge clippers (we can supply)

Light refreshments (baking and drinks) provided afterwards onsite.

This will go ahead unless there is a metservice weather warning, in which case we'll send out an email and post on our facebook page (which you might like to peek at even if you're not on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Riverleaenvironmentsociety/)
